Black Hole Concept Inventory for University level Introductory Astronomy Students

Students' preconceptions about Black Holes (BHs) have yet to be rigorously documented in an academic capacity, and as such there is currently no universal resource available to inform instructors as to how to best lead instruction on BH's and BH related topics. We hope to create a BH concept survey in order to collect data concerning student preconceptions about BHs and Relativity. This data will be analyzed to determine what topics are most important to address in University level Intro Astronomy courses. This will allow for construction of a BH/Relativity lesson plan that could then be applied at multiple Universities.
